'The Social Kitchen' sums up Fisher & Paykel's design philosophy. The kitchen is about people. And when you think about people - their habits, the ways they live and interact - you get a richness of experience that traditional kitchen planning and appliances often ignore. The Social Kitchen is where food meets design to create food experiences that flip assumptions and start new conversations. In 2011, Fisher & Paykel launched the first of a series of events that embraced the concept of the Social Kitchen.

The kitchen is the humble engine room in which we choose to live - where we create, socialize and enjoy the best life has to offer. Cooking is a social activity. We generally place the key appliances in what we consider to be logical places: the work triangle of cooktop, sink and refrigerator. But we no longer cook in straight lines. We don't cook on conveyor belts. Sometimes we assemble, sometimes we bake, sometimes we stir-fry and sometimes we boil. The work triangle limits our creativity. It's not just about efficiency; sometimes it's about fun. Too many cooks may spoil the broth or they may create a wonderful social and enjoyable meal. Let's reclaim the kitchen. Let's live outside the triangle.

Fisher & Paykel Refrigeration
At the heart of Fisher & Paykel's Refrigerators is the ability to sense and respond to daily use in an intelligent way. The combination of temperature sensors with smart electronics and variable-speed fans creates a controlled environment and optimum temperature for better food care. They call it ActiveSmart Technology. Your refrigerator door is the most used door in your home and, every time it is opened, the temperature changes around your food. The challenge is maintaining a consistent and controlled environment despite ongoing changes inside and outside the refrigerator. ActiveSmart achieves this through constantly monitoring how you and your family use your refrigerator, adjusting airflow to maintain a stable and even temperature. So despite highs, lows and occasional gusty winds, when it comes to your refrigerator, let ActiveSmart control the weather to deliver better food care.

CoolDrawer
The CoolDrawer has been designed to change from a refrigerator to freezer at the touch of a button. It is built on the concept of distributed refrigeration, combining ActiveSmart Technology with a drawer-based design that can be placed anywhere in the kitchen, home or entertainment area. The CoolDrawer provides five temperature settings to deliver total flexibilityfreezer, chill, fridge, pantry and wine modes, merging intelligence with convenience.

Freezer Mode
This mode is ideal for general frozen food storage with the added flexibility of three freezer functions bottle chill, fast freeze and deep freeze. Freezer Mode is set at -0F for longer-term storage of frozen items.

Chill Mode
Chill Mode sets the compartment to a temperature perfect for highly perishable meats, poultry and seafood. For these types of food it is ideal to store them at a temperature as close to freezing as possible to retain their vital freshness. Chill Mode sets the compartment at 31F, just above the freezing temperature for meat.

Fridge Mode
This mode provides the ideal storage for most foods requiring normal refrigeration, such as fruit and vegetables, dairy products, processed meats and drinks. The compact upper storage tray is a perfect place for sensitive foods such as peaches, cherries, cheeses and deli items; the tall bin is ideal for large bottles and containers.

Pantry Mode
This is designed for foods that require a cool, darkplace for storage, such as tropical fruits, tomatoes, bananas, bread and cereals. Pantry Mode provides a solution for all those foods that you didnt previously know what to do with and have always resorted to storing on the counter top or inthe cupboard. This setting offers a stable storageenvironment at 54F, making it ideal for sensitive foods.

Wine Mode
Using the innovative Wine Mode, connoisseurs can take advantage of special settings that preserve and present wine at its optimum temperature. Thismode is ideal for long-term storage of all wineat 54F and offers two temperature selections for short-term storage.
